Modeling the cost-benefits tradeoffs for regression testing techniques
TL;DR: New cost-benefits models for regression test selection, test suite reduction, and test case prioritization are presented, that capture previously omitted factors, and support cost-Benefits analyses where they were not supported before.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Parallel Randomized State-Space Search
TL;DR: This paper presents a technique for dramatically improving the cost- effectiveness of state-space search techniques for error detection using parallelism, and shows through a focused empirical study that the technique speeds up analysis by factors ranging from 2 to over 1000 as compared to traditional modes of state -space search.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Automatic generation of load tests
TL;DR: A mixed symbolic execution based approach that is unique in how it favors program paths associated with a performance measure of interest, operates in an iterative-deepening beam-search fashion to discard paths that are unlikely to lead to high-load tests, and generates a test suite of a given size and level of diversity.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Carving differential unit test cases from system test cases
TL;DR: This paper presents a framework for automatically carving and replaying DUTs that accounts for a wide-variety of strategies, an instance of the framework is implemented, and several techniques to mitigate test cost and enhance flexibility are implemented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The impact of test suite granularity on the cost-effectiveness of regression testing
TL;DR: Examining the effects of test suite granularity on the costs and benefits of several regression testing methodologies across six releases of two non-trivial software systems exposes essential tradeoffs to consider when designing test suites for use in regression testing evolving systems.
